CLINTON, Miss. – UIndy dropped both contests of Sunday's doubleheader to No. 21 Mississippi College, dropping game one on a 2-3 walk-off bases loaded walk, and falling 5-6 in game two to the Choctaws. 

For the second time this weekend the Greyhounds lost on a bases loaded walk-off walk, the first one in game one of this weekend's four-game series, and once today. 

Two Greyhound offseason additions showed why they were brought in today, Carter Thomas knocked in the lone RBI for the Hounds in game one, while Garrett Rusch went 2-for-4 with three RBIs in the second game. 

This weekend is the first time the Greyhounds and Choctaws have faced off in the history of the two programs. 

GAME 1 | UIndy 2, Mississippi College 3

The first game of the Sunday doubleheader started and ended similarly to Friday's first game, with the Hounds taking an early 1-0 lead before the game ended in a walk-off bases loaded walk. Chase Mason got the scoring started today on a double steal that saw Mason steal home, to put UIndy ahead 1-0 after two. Mason added another steal to his career total of 14 in two seasons with the Hounds. 

The Choctaws and Greyhounds traded a pair of RBI singles in the second and fifth innings, respectively, with Thomas garnering his first career RBI for the Greyhounds in the fifth to give UIndy a 2-1 lead after five innings. 

After Ayden Tran's career debut for UIndy where he pitched four innings, only allowing one run, and striking out one, the Hounds made two pitching changes in Drake Downing and Aidan Pearson. Both Downing one run in the bottom of the sixth before Pearson made his appearance. 

Mississippi College recorded a single, double, and an intentional walk, consecutively, in the final half inning before Pearson walked Will Langston with the bases loaded to give the Choctaws the 3-2 win. 

GAME 2 | UIndy 5, Mississippi College 6

After the Choctaws took a 1-0 lead after two innings, Austin Bode and Rusch capped off a big fourth inning for UIndy with three runs. Rusch hammered the first home run of the season for the Hounds, adding to his career total home runs of nine. While with runners on first and second, Bode drove home Solen Munson on an RBI single to give UIndy a 3-1 lead after the top of the fourth. 

Mississippi College scored four of the game's next five runs to take a 6-4 lead into the seventh frame. The Hounds were able to get one run back on a Rusch bases loaded RBI single, his third RBI of the day, to cut the lead to 6-5 with one out. 

The Choctaws made a pitching change, bringing in Blake Gollett in relief for Carter Wells, and with one out Gollett was able to get out of a jam with two straight strikeouts to give Mississippi College the 6-5 win, and the win in the four-game weekend series.
